Title: Process for the manufacture of edible liquid cold/resistant glycerides of edible flowable suspensions of solid glycerides in liquid glycerides and/or mixtures of solid and liquid glycerides suitable for use in the manufacture of margarine from soya oil
IPC: A23D9/02
Filed: 1971-08-25
Abstract: 1339155 Edible oils HARBURGER OELWERKE BRINCKMAN & MERGELL 25 Aug 1971 [31 Aug 1970] 39853/71 Heading C5C Edible, liquid, cold-stable glycerides are made by hydrogenating soya oil with a nickel catalyst to an iodine no. of 90 to 115, transesterifying the hydrogenated oil, fractionally crystallizing at 0‹ to 10‹ C. and separating the solids from the liquid. An edible, fluid suspension of solid glycerides in liquid glycerides is made by blending the cold-stable oil above with the transesterified, unseparated oil; alternatively, a mixture of liquid and solid glycerides, suitable for making margarine, is made by combining the separated solids with the transesterified, unseparated oil. The transesterification catalyst may be metallic sodium or sodium ethoxide. The product may be deodorized after transesterification. The process can also be applied to mixtures of soya oil with other vegetable oils, e.g. sunflower, cottonseed, groundnut or corn oil.

Title: Printing hammers
Inventor: BERRY DUDLEY VICTOR GEORGE
IPC: B41J9/36
Filed: 1969-08-09
Abstract: 1,254,498. Selective printing. D. V. G. BERRY. 3 Sept., 1970 [9 Aug., 1969], No. 39953/69. Heading B6F. Hammer impression.-A travelling print hammer 1 is mounted on a carriage 2 by one or more leaf springs 3. An electromagnet 5, 6 extends the full line length and rocks the hammer against the force of a cantilever spring 4 fixed to the carriage 2. Upon de-energization of the electromagnet, the hammer is initially impelled by the spring 4 and then moves under its own momentum to cause impact. An adjustable stop (not illustrated) mounted on the carriage 2 limits the hammer travel on its cocking stroke and is set to maintain a small clearance between the end of the hammer and the base of the yoke 6 of the electromagnet. This adjusts the impact force and prevents friction between the hammer and the electromagnet as the carriage moves line-wise. The carriage is guided on one or more rails 7 and is moved by such means as a belt drive from a stepping motor or a pair of electromagnetic clamps acting on a continuously rotating belt. An additional electromagnetic clamp may act on a belt connected to the hammer carriage, the same belt also containing information indicating the position of the carriage. In an alternative embodiment (Figs. 2 and 3), the electromagnet has an E-shaped yoke and the plastics carriage 2 is grooved to ride along the end of the E. The hammer (1) carries a magnetic plate (8) mounted in an aperture in the carriage which supports pillars (10) and (11), the pillar (10) carrying the two leaf-springs (3). The pillars also carry respective impeller springs (4), the free ends of which abut projections (12) of the hammer in its cocked position. The springs 4 come out of contact with the projections during travel of the hammer to its printing position.

Abstract: 1,237,463. Two-part couplings. H. LOINTIER. 22 Aug., 1968 [25 Aug., 1967], No. 40287/68. Heading H2E. A plug for directly mounting on an electrical appliance, e.g. a coffee mill, comprises a body 4, Fig. 4, attached to or moulded integrally with the appliance casing and a rotatable body 5 carrying plug pins 6. The rotatable body 5 is held in the body 4 by a cover-plate 8 screwed on to the body 4. A projection 7 on the rotatable body projects into a recess 4<SP>3</SP> in the body 4 and limits the rotation of the pins and body 5. Instead of the recess 4<SP>3</SP> being formed in the body 4 it could be formed in the rotatable body, with a projection, Fig. 7, or screw (Fig. 9, not shown), formed on the body 4 projecting into it. A plastics shoe 11, Fig. 7, may be provided in the body 4, the shoe having a hemispherical head which is urged by a spring 12 into abutment with the rotatable body 5. The shoe 11 can register with one of a plurality of recesses 5<SP>21</SP> on the rotatable body 5 allowing for a plurality of relative angular position of the bodies 4, 5. The shoe 11 may alternatively be contained in the rotatable body 5, or in place of the shoe a flange (14, Fig. 10, not shown) may be urged into abutment with the back of rotatable body 5 to provide braking. In a further embodiment, Fig. 12, four terminals 16 are provided in the fixed body 15 for connection to the plug pins 17 of the rotatable body 18. The terminals are connected in pairs and provided with cupped ends 16<SP>1</SP>. To rotate the body 18 it is first pulled away from body 15 and then rotated to bring the pins 17 into connection with the other pair of terminals 16. The plug may be directly plugged into wall sockets of different orientations. The terminals 16 may be replaced by part-circular terminals in continuous register with the plug pins (Fig. 15, not shown). An insulating collapsable cap 22 may be provided over the plug pins or separate insulating sleeves may be provided on the plug pins. The electrical appliance may alternatively be provided with two fixed plugs of different orientations and a change-over switch (Fig. 2 not shown).

The strand pay-off guide 38<SP>1</SP> is at the end of an arm 42<SP>1</SP> pivoted at 44<SP>1</SP>. The tension in the yarn 32 tends to rock the arm 42<SP>1</SP> clockwise and a spring and link assembly 104<SP>1</SP> to 112<SP>1</SP> applies an opposing torque. Rigid with the arm 42<SP>1</SP> is a wheel 50<SP>1</SP> coupled by a belt drive 541 'to a rotary transformer 60<SP>1</SP>. If the tension in the yarn 32 decreases the resulting anticlockwise movement of the arm 42<SP>1</SP> causes the transformer 60<SP>1</SP> to adopt a fresh setting changing the current flow in the winding 122 to speed up the motor 82 to a valve that will re-establish the desired tension.
